Reading out Article 6 from the Constitution and certain clauses relating to the appointment of judges of the superior courts from the Charter of Democracy, Altaf said implementation of Article 6 would result in the hanging of 200,000 to 300,000 people.

He observed that the PPP and the PML-N were not implementing the CoD.

The MQM chief announced to forgive PML-N president Nawaz Sharif, Army officials, law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, who had launched the June 1992 operation against his party.

He asked the government to constitute a truth and reconciliation commission to identify the persons responsible for all wrongdoings, including imposition of martial laws and abrogation of the Constitution so that they could be asked to come forward to make a public apology over their wrongdoings.

He said this in his telephonic address from London at an Iftar party hosted in the honour of journalists, columnists and anchorpersons at the Lal Qila ground here on Sunday.

The MQM chief called upon Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to convene an all-party conference to discuss and resolve all the longstanding issues, including the problem of Balochistan.

He asked the government to stop the operation in Balochistan, recover all the missing persons and hold talks to resolve the problem. (ANI)
